Name should be the name of your S-Corp, not your personal name.
Identifying number is the Employee Identification Number (EIN) of your S-Corp.
Don't enter anything for Part 1, 1a.
S-Corps typically file Form 1120S Income Tax Return. If this is your case, then verify that "25" is the code for Form 1120S and enter it in Part II, line b.
In Line 5a, complete the last two digits of the tax year, typically the previous year. If your tax year is 1st of January to end of December there is no need to enter the beginning and ending dates.
Line 6 or "Tentative total tax" is likely to be 0.00 as an S-Corp is a "pass-through" entity which assumes than any profits are declared on the owner's personal tax return. Line 7 and 8 are also typically 0.00 for an S-Corp.

The December 2012 of the Form 7004 instruction manual indicates that you can e-file form 7004 at http://www.irs.gov/Filing. This Tax Maven gave it a try and soon found himself in some 1980's electronic file submission nightmare, but if you succeed, let us know how in the comments. Dear IRS, please create a simple online form to replace all this.
Where to send the paper form, depends on where the principal office is and the net assets in some states. For example, an S-Corp with it's principal office in Vermont and assets of less than $10m should email the form to the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service Center, Kansas City, MO 64999-0019. Dear IRS, please simplify this by making the address the same for all S-Corps regardless of their net assets.
